Analysis
Design Capital Ltd (1545) currently trades at HK$0.1590, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$0.0900, implying the stock looks roughly 43.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Design Capital Ltd generated revenue of HK$51.1M at a net margin of -3.4%. Revenue declined 8.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$26.1M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$0.0700 (bear case) to HK$0.1100 (bull case); at HK$0.1590, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 165% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -20% fair-value upside, at -43%, 1545 screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 11 models by family
